WASHINGTON – Today RNC Chairman Reince Priebus appointed U.S. Congressman, House Ways and Means Chairman and former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan to serve as Chairman of the Presidential Trust. The trust represents money that will be spent in direct coordination with the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign. Congressman Ryan also served as Presidential Trust Chairman during the 2012 cycle, when the RNC broke multiple fundraising records.

“There is no one better suited for this important role than my friend and my Congressman, Paul Ryan,” said Chairman Priebus. “After previously serving as the chair and running as our party’s vice presidential nominee, he understands the importance of securing these resources early in the cycle. He is one of our party’s most respected and visionary leaders, and I’m grateful that he has agreed to serve in this capacity once again. The Presidential Trust will help finance the expansion of our field operation and the growth of data and digital operations—all in support of our eventual nominee.

“With Paul’s help in 2012, we shattered fundraising records and outraised the DNC, $291 million to $179 million. I look forward to working with Paul to raise the bar even higher this year and ensure we send a Republican to the White House in 2016.”

“It’s an honor to chair the Presidential Trust again,” said Congressman Ryan. “We had a great election in 2014, but we will have to be even better in 2016 if we want to get America back on track. Another Democrat in the White House would mean another four years of the Obama agenda, which has left too many people behind and our nation too deep in debt. Republican candidates will be ready to offer new leadership and new ideas, and the RNC will be ready to provide our nominee the resources to win.”

The RNC is the only party organization with the ability under federal law to make coordinated expenditures, working directly with and on behalf of the Republican presidential nominee. In addition to coordinating with the nominee, only the RNC, in concert with state parties, can provide the resources and staff necessary to run a year-round Victory 365 field operation to assist all Republican candidates up and down the ballot.

This afternoon, Wisconsin’s First District Congressman Paul Ryan offered the following statement regarding his plans for 2016:

“After giving it a lot of thought, I’ve decided not to run for president. Our work at the House Ways and Means Committee over the next few years will be crucial to moving America forward, and my job as Chairman deserves undivided attention. “It’s clear our country needs a change in direction. And our party has a responsibility to offer a real alternative.

So I’m going to do what I can to lay out conservative solutions and to help our nominee lead us to victory. “I want to thank everyone who encouraged me to run. Their words and continued support have been deeply humbling. And most of all I want to thank the people of Wisconsin for giving me the opportunity to serve our country.”

Washington, DC - Last night, Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan offered the following statement after President Obama’s speech indicating he would issue a sweeping Executive Order on immigration:

“The President’s decision to issue this executive order is a stunning act of partisanship and polarization. Clearly, he is more interested in playing politics than helping hard-working taxpayers. With this legally suspect and unilateral act, he has poisoned the well on what should be a bipartisan effort and brought relations with Congress to a new low.

“Congressional leaders asked for time in order to advance reforms that secure our border, respect the rule of law, and fix this broken system – but the President has refused to work with us; instead, he’s chosen to go it alone.

“We need to fix our immigration system, and we can fix it while upholding the rule of law. But the President’s overreach will make lasting reform that much harder to achieve.”

More from Congressman Ryan on the President’s executive action: •Washington Post: “We've gone to the president and said, ‘Give us time to do immigration reform, to work on the issue this year. We want to get this done.’ And this is the reaction he has to that?” said Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the 2012 vice presidential candidate. “He had two years with a super-majority of his own party, and he didn't lift a finger. And now he won’t give us a few weeks? He’s basically choosing to give us a partisan bomb.”•Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: “I fear that if the president moves forward on this unconstitutional executive order, that he’s going to do so much to poison the well intentionally, to pick a fight with Congress, that it’s going to bring more gridlock,” Ryan said in an interview with the Journal Sentinel. “If he proceeds with this, it would be one of the most breathtaking and stunning acts of polarization that I have ever seen in government,” Ryan said. “That will be his intentional decision to have an even more adversarial relationship with Congress.•Washington Times: “Rather than go around Congress, I would encourage the President to give the House time to develop solutions that respect the rule of law, secure our border, and fix our broken system for good.”•Reuters: "I think it would do great damage in his relations with Congress," Ryan said of an expected Obama move to allow millions of undocumented immigrants to remain in the United States. "If he chooses to do this, we will see this as a move for him to play 2016 politics, to try and help his party versus our party, instead of working and coming to common ground with Republicans in 2015 to get things done, which is what I think the voters told us they want in this very last election."

DES MOINES, Iowa- Today Republican Party of Iowa Chairman A.J. Spiker confirmed that United States Congressman and 2012 Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan will be the featured speaker at the Republican Party of Iowa’s annual, “Lincoln Dinner.” The event will be held on Friday, April 11th in Cedar Rapids at the DoubleTree by Hilton.

ANNAPOLIS -- Diana Waterman, Chair of the Maryland Republican Party, is pleased to announce that Congressman Paul Ryan is slated to be the speaker at the annual Red, White, and Blue Dinner to be held on June 20, 2013.

Mrs. Waterman said, "I am delighted Congressman Paul Ryan has accepted our invitation to join us for the Red, White, and Blue Dinner. Martin O'Malley and Chris Van Hollen can learn a lesson or two from Congressman Ryan's leadership. While Democrats in Maryland have raised taxes over 40 times to pay for a government that is out of control, Congressman Ryan and his recent budget entitled the "Path to Prosperity" restores economic freedom, changes Washington's culture of spending, and fulfills America's commitment to our seniors. It will be refreshing to hear from a reformer who can help Maryland Republicans before the 2014 elections."

Congressman Paul Ryan is the United States Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district and currently serves as the chairman of the House Budget Committee. He resides in Janesville, Wisconsin with his family. Congressman Ryan was the Republican Party nominee for Vice President of the United States in 2012.

Several venues are under consideration for the annual Red, White, and Blue Dinner
